Richard D. Dunphy: To Him, A War Goes On, Kevin P. Lavery
The Gettysburg Compiler: On the Front Lines of History
Although I have so far treated Richard Dunphy as a man who achieved heroism through valor and suffered greatly for it, there is another side to his character that I have not yet explored. In 1899, his wife, Catherine, accused Richard of being too irresponsible to handle his own pension money. Furthermore, she accused him of abusing his family and failing to pay his bills. To resolve this conflict, the Bureau of Pensions sent Special Examiner E. G. Hursh to Vallejo to investigate. He collected about a dozen depositions in order to evaluate the validity of these claims. Richard Dunphy …

The Journey For Justice Of The Japanese Americans, Richard Burke
The Journey For Justice Of The Japanese Americans, Richard Burke
History Class Publications
The Japanese American citizens were dehumanized by the actions of the United States government during World War II; they were forced into internment camps strictly because they were of Japanese descent. Through the accounts of the men, women, and children who experienced the internment camps and lived on to tell about them, they were treated less than human. They were definitely not protected by the laws of the United States of America. There are many different elements that appear to have created the opportunities for certain men to imprison citizens of the United States without a trial or jury. Through …
Islam's Education Spectrum, Kevin Jackson
Islam's Education Spectrum, Kevin Jackson
History Class Publications
There are no completely neutral studies of Islamic education. Though centuries old, Islamic learning evokes reactions as varied as pride or scorn, hope or suspicion, tolerance or belligerence. Some see Islamic educational institutions as the both the preserve of virtue and the cutting edge of civilization; others see them as a both a threat to freedom and a fountain of extremism.
Approaches to Islamic education are therefore controversial among both Muslims and non-Muslims. In response to globalization, members of both camps turn to various degrees of separatism or integration. Separatists maintain that Muslim and secular educations are fundamentally in competition. …

Justice William Wayne Justice, presiding over the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, entered a ruling that would come to be one of the most heavy-handed attacks on the segregation of public schools in Texas- often referred to as Civil Order 5281. The case was brought by the United States Department of Justice, who charged nine school districts in Eastern Texas with practicing de jure or de facto segregation. In his ruling, Justice Justice gave power to the Texas Education Agency to and punish those schools that are found to be in non-compliance. This ruling is …

Taken: The Theft And Recovery Of The Quedlinburg Treasures And Surrounding Legal Issues, Ellen Flint
History Class Publications
As the town of Quedlinburg, Germany was besieged, people fled, hiding their precious belongings in remote places. U.S. soldiers occupied the city, and just when the situation seemed to be stabilizing, one of the greatest art thefts of the twentieth century occurred. Joe Tom Meador, a 29-year old American soldier stationed in Germany, stole the Quedlinburg “treasures,” a series of medieval art pieces hidden in a cave outside the town. The theft remained unsolved for 45 years.1 Over that span of time, debate over cultural property increased, sparked by World War II looting.

Vive Le Proletariat: The 1968 Revolt Of French Workers And Students, John Duhan
Vive Le Proletariat: The 1968 Revolt Of French Workers And Students, John Duhan
Honors Theses
1968 was a watershed year in terms of social change across the world. While countries behind the iron curtain like Czechoslovakia, Poland and Hungary were fighting for more reasonable government, western countries such as Germany, Italy, the United States, and France all dealt with uprisings from communist student groups. The unique aspect of the French Revolt of 1968, versus similar revolts in places such as The United States, or Germany, was the relationship between college students and members of the French working class.
For this essay I split the French working class into two separate groups: the immigrant workers, and …
Face Down In The Wishkah, Andrew Osborn
Face Down In The Wishkah, Andrew Osborn
History Undergraduate Theses
This thesis will reexamine the life of America’s greatest unknown serial killer William (Billy) Gohl. Spanning an eight year period (1902-1910) Gohl was able to amass over one hundred victims in the port city of Aberdeen Washington. Gohl did this through taking advantage of people’s trust and integrating techniques from 19th century San Franciscan criminals to produce a systematic murder enterprise. It took a new mayor, chief of police, and over two years of investigation to finally bring Gohl to trial and conviction. Gohl’s story is one that covers a variety of historical studies and hinges on a fascinating narrative. …

Obsessive Digging In Carolina Sand And Baltimore Asphalt, John M. Rudy
Interpreting the Civil War: Connecting the Civil War to the American Public
My parents moved to Wilmington, North Carolina a couple years ago. I have to admit, I am fascinated when I visit the South, for the sheer fact that it is such a vastly different environment than I'm used to. For one thing, the war happened there. For another, the war got very complex and interesting there. [excerpt]

The Gettysburg Compiler: On the Front Lines of History
Within four hours of Richard Dunphy’s grievous wounding at the Battle of Mobile Bay, both of his arms had been amputated. In a medical survey, he described the “extraordinary pain” that lasted “for about three weeks.” There was “a great quantity of pus, and twelve pieces of bone or splinters came out” from the wound for months after the surgery. Though the pain was great, it faded in time. The psychological and social effects of the operation, however, never went away. [excerpt]

The Journal Of Elizabeth Maxwell Alsop Wynne, 1862-1878, Andrew Talkov
Theses and Dissertations
The experiences of Southern women during the American Civil War are often represented through the publication of their journals, diaries, and memoirs. This project consists of the transcription and annotation of the journal of Elizabeth (“Lizzie”) Maxwell Alsop Wynne, written from March 4, 1862, through March 20, 1878. During her most intense period of writing from 1862 to 1866, Lizzie Alsop recorded the effects of the American Civil War on an extensive network of friends and family in the Confederate capital at Richmond, Virginia, and at her home in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Lizzie’s journal offers valuable insight into the wartime politicization …
Dead Virginians: The Corpse And Its Uses In Early Virginia, David Roettger
Dead Virginians: The Corpse And Its Uses In Early Virginia, David Roettger
Theses and Dissertations
The thesis traces the history of colonial Virginia in an attempt to uncover the origins of several peculiarities in Virginia death-ways. Elite Virginians buried at home more often than not (where they could protect the dead from animal desecration), while avoided death’s heads, reapers, and bone based tomb and mourning jewelry iconography even though such was popular throughout the British Atlantic. Research done for this thesis reveals a fear on the part of elite Virginias regarding questions of both corpse desecration and natural putrefaction. The cause of this cultural obsession lie in two facts: The blackening of the early colony’s …
Richard Wagner's Jesus Von Nazareth, Matthew Giessel
Richard Wagner's Jesus Von Nazareth, Matthew Giessel
Theses and Dissertations
In addition to his renowned musical output, Richard Wagner produced a logorrhoeic prose oeuvre, including a dramatic sketch of the last weeks of the life of Jesus Christ entitled Jesus von Nazareth. Though drafted in 1848-1849, it was published only posthumously, and has therefore been somewhat neglected in the otherwise voluminous Wagnerian literature. This thesis first examines the origins of Jesus von Nazareth amidst the climate of revolution wherein it was conceived, ascertaining its place within Wagner’s own internal development and amongst the radical thinkers who influenced it. While Ludwig Feuerbach has traditionally been seen as the most prominent of …
The Development And Gentrification Of Musical Commerce In Williamsburg, Virginia, 1716-1775, Joshua R. Lehuray
The Development And Gentrification Of Musical Commerce In Williamsburg, Virginia, 1716-1775, Joshua R. Lehuray
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis explores the burgeoning musical commerce industry in Williamsburg, Virginia between approximately 1716 to 1775. It especially focuses on the gentrification of this industry and the ways in which elite Virginians made use of music to establish themselves as inheritors of British culture and musical entertainment. A diversity of musical businesses appeared in Williamsburg during the eighteenth century, including instrument sellers, music and dancing teachers, and two theaters utilized by theatrical troupes, to name a few. Drawing on evidence from the Virginia Gazette, as well as journals, letters, playhouse reports, and account books, the thesis concludes that music provided …
